All, I have been working with Garrett D'Amore over the last several months to add in GLDv3 support to the aging dnet driver. Unfortunately dnet is in pretty rough shape, and a number of inherent issues (particularly with PHY selection in the driver) is preventing clean results from NICDRV. Now that Brussels and Garrett's mii work have been putback, the driver is even more out of date.
I spoke with Garrett briefly today, and had a thought: Rather than continue to prop up dnet and build on a shaky foundation, I would like to see the driver EOL'd and replaced by a clean-room implementation (the emancipation driver-gate seems a good candidate until the new code can be integrated into ON). Assuming community approval, I am stopping NICDRV testing of the patch for Bug ID 6687881, although it is still available: http://cr.opensolaris.org/~stallion/dnet/ Thoughts? Steve -- Yet magic and hierarchy arise from the same source, and this source has a null pointer. Reference the NULL within NULL, it is the gateway to all wizardry. _______________________________________________ driver-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/driver-discuss
